Spirits of the Ancestors Flight

Spirits of the Ancestors Flight 

Not for the faint of heart. This interesting flight is a tribute to Mexico’s ancestral flavors-smoke, spice and maize through four unique spirits that are personal to our friends south of the border.  

Sip slowly. Avoid citrus to let the flavors reveal themselves.  

Nixta Licor de Elote - made from nixtamalized heirloom Cacahuazintle corn grown in Mexico's high valleys and foothills of the Nevado de Toluca volcano.  Smooth, sweet, and savory with toasted maize, vanilla and honey. A nod to Mexico's oldest harvest. Enjoy neat or replace the agave in an Old Fashioned with it.

Tanteo Chipotle Tequila - Blue Weber Agave infused with smoky roasted chipotle chiles from Chihuahua, Mexico. Bold, peppery heat with roasted fruit notes. This tequila bridges the past and present, blending modern tequila with the rich smoke of chile.  Drink neat or replace house tequila for the warmer spice of a Chipotle Raspberry Margarita. 

Alma Tepec Licor de Chile Pasilla Mixe Liqueur - Crafted in Oaxaca from smoked Pasilla Mixe chiles. Earthy, dark and subtly sweet.  Add a splash to our Strawberry or Coconut Margarita for something zippier or replace the agave in an Old Fashioned. Oh, I am just thinking now about an Old Fashioned made with Dangerous Dano Coffee Liquor and a splash of this.  I might need to try it tonight.

Ilegal Mezcal - 100% Espadin agave roasted underground in earthen pits. Clean smoke, gentle sweetness, and a mineral finish. Try this in our Ancho Ember Margarita or replace the bourbon for a smoky Old fashioned.
